Object in different positions in the frame (2)

Second attempt at the exercise exploring the spatial relationship between a subject and its background; this time I chose a sculpture on the beach of Derwentwater in the Lake District.  You can see the relationship changing as the subject changes places in the frame.  When the subject is centred it is not as dramatic as when it is in one of the corners giving the scene a greater sense of space. The image that works best is the last one, with the sculpture in the bottom left-hand corner and taking up most of the frame.  (I did try to process this one, by cropping it to give the sculpture even more prominence, converting to b&w and then pushing up the contrast; unfortunately, this doesn't work as the sculpture is a similar texture to the beach, so there is not enough texture contrast in the scene for this to work).

I then repeated the exercise with a dead tree shot with a wide-angled zoom and polariser; because the tree is so striking, the most pleasing composition is with the subject centred and occupying the full frame (so opposite effect to the sculpture above, which looks nice in real life but is that great in a photo). 

I also tried the Dutch angle technique to enhance the impact of the structure of the scene, which although this is a technique that should be used sparingly, on this occasion it works! 

Finally I processed my favourite image of the lot to create a scene of drama.  I will return to this one on a cloudy day!
